Mark Appleyard is now representing Element Skateboards and Transworld Skateboarding’s Kevin Duffel has the complete interview on how it all went down, including why he left Flip.
I was over it [laughs],” Appleyard said. “I feel like I grew out of it and the team changed so much over the years that I was just like, “this shit ain’t for me anymore,” and I just needed to feel more stoked on the company I ride for, so I had to change it up. . . Yeah it was hard to leave, but it’s a business move. Ya know? If someone’s gonna be your friend, it shouldn’t depend on what company you ride for. I just had to make a power move to benefit myself. I’m really stoked on the choice I made. It was difficult but it had to be done.
